Media analysts and others doing their best over analyzing

Published: Tuesday, February 20, 2007

According to published reports, analysts are busting their brains in trying to figure out how a combined Sirius and XM will save money? We don't know if we're missing something but isn't that what employees are for? When you merge you purge, so their money saving plan will be to axe a nice chunk of the combined work force cutting out redundancies at the bottom and the top. Ahhh! Just one of many questions all merger announcements spark. Wonder what kind of questions will a Viacom CBS re-merger spark?
Left unanswered is what will happen to consumers who have one of the current generation of radios once it's time to blend the companies.

"The companies will have to announce a fairly complicated technology-migration plan," says Sanford C. Bernstein analyst Craig Moffett.

In addition to the tech hurdles, the companies will have to get the deal to pass muster with antitrust officials and the Federal Communications Commission.
